Celebration Europe in London was just a couple of days in the rear-view mirror, but that doesn't mean there wasn't plenty to see at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con. Even though Lucasfilm had given up their annual Hall H Friday extravaganza, the Star Wars pavilion was in full-effect, with a new Rogue One-themed Yavin backdrop.
